Scandia Professional Mosquito Control

Scandia, Minnesota, is a charming rural city in Washington County, known for its Swedish heritage, scenic landscapes, and strong agricultural roots. Located just northeast of the Twin Cities, Scandia offers a peaceful country setting with access to pristine nature, featuring outdoor destinations like William O’Brien State Park, Big Marine Lake, and the St. Croix River. However, the combination of forests, wetlands, and lakes creates ideal conditions for mosquito and tick activity, especially during Minnesota’s warmer months.

Scandia’s expansive rural properties, wooded trails, and waterfront areas provide an environment where mosquito populations can thrive.

Addressing Health and Safety Concerns

Health concerns in Scandia include mosquito-borne illnesses such as West Nile Virus and La Crosse Encephalitis, as well as tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis, which are prevalent in Minnesota’s heavily wooded and grassy areas. These risks highlight the importance of proactive pest management to ensure the safety and enjoyment of Scandia’s outdoor spaces.

To address these challenges, Scandia has adopted measures such as:

  • Educating residents on the importance of eliminating standing water to reduce mosquito breeding sites.
  • Promoting regular mosquito treatments for residential properties, farms, and outdoor recreational spaces.

As a trusted mosquito control company, we work closely with Scandia residents to reduce mosquito activity through proven treatments and expert guidance. Regular professional mosquito treatments, paired with community-led efforts, are essential to preserving Scandia’s rural charm and ensuring it remains a safe and enjoyable place to live, work, and explore.

Seasonal Weather in Scandia Minnesota

The weather in Scandia, Minnesota, greatly influences seasonal mosquito and tick activity. Warm, humid summers create ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes, particularly after rainstorms that leave standing water in marshlands, lakefront areas, and drainage ditches. Ticks are most active during spring and fall, thriving in wooded trails, farm fields, and shaded residential lots. While Scandia experiences cold winters, occasional early thaws or late warm spells can prolong mosquito activity, making seasonal pest management essential.

Key Factors Influencing Pest Activity:

  • Mosquitoes and Proximity to Natural Features: Big Marine Lake, the St. Croix River, and forested wetlands contribute to increased mosquito activity during warmer months.
  • Ticks and Dense Vegetation: Wooded state parks, overgrown farmlands, and residential yards with tall grass create ideal habitats for ticks, particularly in spring and fall.

Frequently Asked Questions

01. What other insects will this affect?
We use an insecticide so other insects present when and where we spray may be impacted.

However, our formula was specifically engineered for mosquitoes so it won’t repel any other insects as it does mosquitoes.
02. Will plants, vegetables or beneficial insects be impacted?

No. We are incredibly conscious of what we do and realize how it can impact our environment if applied erroneously. That’s why our technicians are trained to recognize:

  • Plants
  • Vegetables
  • Beneficial insects like pollinators
03. Will your product work after storms?
Yes, we have specifically engineered our formula to outlast storms. With a special polymer layer that provides weather resistance, our formula will remain effective.
04. Is there any environment you cannot treat?
Yes, there are some areas we won’t spray to protect the surrounding environments. Pools, natural water sources, vegetable gardens, and artificial water sources complete the list.

Because water could easily spread the insecticides, we never directly apply our product to it. However, the rest of the property can still be sprayed and it will drastically reduce the population of mosquitoes.
05. Does this product work on all mosquitoes and ticks ?
Yes, we target aspects of mosquitoes and ticks that don’t change from species to species.

The killing and repelling aspects of our product will work on any species of mosquitoes and ticks .
06. What about my children and pets?
Pets and children should be inside during each application. However, they can re-enter the property once the product has dried, roughly 10-15 minutes. At that point, there are no restrictions until the next application.
07. When can I start to see the effects?
Every yard is different but you should notice a dramatic reduction within 24-48 hours of the initial spray.

With each subsequent treatment, the results continue to improve, allowing you to enjoy time outside without being chased in by swarms of mosquitoes.
08. Why do we see more mosquitoes after it has rained?
Mosquitoes are more abundant after it rains because standing water is where they breed.

Adult, female mosquitoes will lay their eggs in water. Once fully submerged, the countdown begins and the eggs can hatch in as little as a few days.
